Agreed
I agree, I was/am an athlete in High school. I like to have a few drinks (maybe some shots) and hang out in places where computers are not. Also I like to take my Harley out as often as I can. If you are basing your higher on these questions then I would have to question your judgment. I have a rather successful career in IT as a security/System/Network admin. I work in Linux,Unix, and Windows, and quit successfully I might add.
I follow sports but also tech and I was scratching my head at some of the questions. While it is a fun drinking conversation on who shot first, It really has no bearings in the work environment as to your abilities. I have worked with several guys that could very easily answer everyone of those questions correctly yet they would still run to me to ask how to list files/folders in a directory in Windows and how to change directories in Linux. Just because your a nerd/Geek does not mean your technical, just indicates that you have no life/friends and most likely have no social ability. Now that is a generalization because that does not apply to all, but I would say the majority.
If a Geek has no social skills then how are they going to fit into a company that has non-Geeks working for them? Are you just going to hid the person in a corner next to the vending machines so they aren't uncomfortable when they need there caffeine fix?
When I hire I ask an assortment of questions that gets the Geek to come out as well as make sure they will good at interacting with others (ie employees and customers).
Power to the Geeks!!! (that have see the sun more then just when they are walking to and from their cars)
